MRI lucanar infarct?

[Guest guest]

Hi Gang,

I haven't been here much lately. But I hope all are doing well.

Has anyone ever seen a report on their MRI of a " lucanar infarct " ?

My research shows that it is a very small stroke as the brain is not

sending a signal from the spot. Yes, I'm brain dead. Finally...an

answer. (g)

The radiologist said the recent MRI is the same as the May 2000

one. But the 1996 one was not there. NEVER LISTEN TO THE PERSON TAKING

YOU TO THE MRI ROOM! I could have left it. The reason I wanted it read

was that I had an incident that sent me to the ER in Dec of 1999 and

thought I was having a stroke as I felt like I was losing the power of

speech.

My neurologist says there is no reason to worry now, and the

symptoms of Chiari are varied and these recent symptoms are of likley

from the Chiari. I've had occurrence of a flushed feeling in my head

along with feelinging neurologically screwy.

So, lucanar infarcts anyone?

Thanks,

5-6 mm..not electing for surgery at this time

severe tinnitus

mild Meniere's

Hyperacusis

Downbeating nystagmus

and some other's I have forgotten due to brain damage (g).

P.S. I was approved for SS diability with Anne's help. If anyone has

any questions about SS I can probably point you in the right

direction. The two important things are " documentation " and " docotr's

letters. "
